Abstract
Methods and apparatus for determining approximating polynomials using instruction-embedded coefficients are disclosed. In particular, the methods and apparatus use a plurality of coefficient values stored in a plurality of instructions. The coefficient values are associated with a runtime approximating polynomial of a K-th root family function. The coefficient values and the instructions stored in an instruction memory enable the processor system to determine a K-th root family function approximation value based on the runtime approximating polynomial.
